Due to the cancellation of the JRC2020 conference, authors who previously submitted an accepted technical publication or presentation only submission to the 2020 conference will have the opportunity to present their work at the 2021 conference. To confirm your participation, you will need to submit an abstract to the current JRC2021 conference using the paper type "2020 Presentations." This applies to both accepted technical papers and presentations only. Use the specific 2020 presentation option to avoid your paper undergoing review again.
NOTE: Any submission under this special paper type that is found not to be a JRC2020 accepted presentation will be converted to a JRC2021 presentation only submission and is subject to the vetting process.
